Eugene Robinson - The Great MAGA Schism of 2025 is only getting uglier

Donald Trump hasn’t been inaugurated yet, and already two bellicose titans of the MAGA universe are waging total war — against each other.

Stephen K. Bannon, Trump’s rumpled onetime chief strategist, vowed last week in an interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere Della Serra that he will “get Elon Musk kicked out” of Trump’s inner circle by the time Trump is sworn in on Jan. 20. “He is a truly evil guy, a very bad guy,” Bannon said of Musk.

And that was one of the nicer things Bannon said about the world’s richest man, who spends so much time at Trump’s side that he might be mistaken for a member of the Secret Service detail, minus the earpiece and the muscle tone.

“He should go back to South Africa,” Bannon said of the immigrant tycoon. “Why do we have South Africans, the most racist people on earth, White South Africans … making any comments at all on what goes on in the United States?” Bannon added that Musk “has the maturity of a child,” which indeed might be provable in a court of law.

Not going to happen.

Unfortunately, Eugene Robinson has taken the toll bait.

There is no ‘MAGA civil war’ – this is Bannon’s attempt to advance the lie that’s there’s serious conflict among the fascist right, when in fact they’re united and solidly behind Trump.

this is quite the quandary for the GOP, to have a split between the regular racist assholes who would like all immigrants kicked out and the rich assholes who are fine with immigrants as long as they can make money off of them

convict, who's yet to serve his time for the 2nd conviction, he just got out of jail after serving time for the first conviction.

Besides, he's a ugly person, in all ways, and I don't want to even see him, listen to him, hear him, smell him, you name it, he needs to go away, but he still has that stupid radio broadcast he does, hopefully they will tire of him and his mouth, and kick him to the curb.
